Then WordPress clicked

In 2015, I found a WordPress theme that made making websites so much easier, so I decided to start sharing my knowledge about making WordPress websites with others so they did not have to go through the same issues I went through.

Most web hosts offer a one-click WordPress installer in their control panel. Pick a domain, run the installer, choose a username and password, and your site is live within minutes. My hosting tutorials walk through the whole process.

A theme controls how your website looks. A plugin adds functionality, such as contact forms, online shops or backups. You can combine one theme with as many plugins as you need.

Watch: Top plugins

Keep WordPress, themes and plugins updated, use strong passwords with two-factor authentication, install a security plugin, and make regular backups so you can always restore your website.
